I just got word from my contact at UTSA and the Baylor Golden Wave Band is not going to be at the game. What a disappointment! That opens up a lot of seats in section 138 (17 rows!).

Is anyone else interested in going to the game?

If so, I can provide contact and other info so you can get the group discount. As of now, we have 130+ in our group going to SA.

Maybe they decided it wasn't worth the hassle since there won't be many people watching. If it's only on Facebook, there will be many people who won't be able to see it.

I need to purchase 3 tickets, so I would appreciate the contact. thanks!

What do you think the price will be per ticket?

Cheapest ticket available to the public right now is directly from UTSA (TicketMaster). $29 ticket plus one $5 service fee per order. 5 tickets costs $145 + $5 = $150, or $30 per ticket final price.

Most of the secondary market has you around $35 per ticket minimum, after all fees.

The tickets from my group are $30 each in section 138. This is a good deal. When you call, tell them you are with my group (Mark). There will be no service charge or other fees if you are with the group. Also, you can pay with your credit card.

If you do order tickets with the group, do me a favor and send me a pvt. msg. I would like to keep track of how many are in the group.

We have a group of 85 San Antonio Baylor fans that will be sitting in the section just above the official Baylor section. Sic 'Em!

If this post carried a title about Baylor's band not going to San Antonio (if that's actually true), there would be many more posts.

If true, I can only ask why? How much does it cost to charter a few buses for a 3 hour drive to San Antonio? No airfare, no hotels, maybe a Chick Fil A for each of them?

Are they not ready to perform? Are they performing tomorrow?

Seriously, if I were a member or alum of the band, I would be asking questions. Plus.....could it just possibly help the team....and give our tens of thousands of loyal fans who will make the trip a rush.

What possible reason could there be for not taking the band?

Good idea! I'll post another with that information. It is a shame that they don't plan to attend and there is no reason for them not to--not when they travel to Oklahoma for those games.

No band, and on Facebook. How rinky- dink can it get. Gotta win some games this year to just get back to ground level.

High school games can get on tv. But a power five program... Facebook. Really? What a joke.

Maybe little Matty and Rhoads are pulling the plug to get ready for their next gig somewhere.

To paraphrase Bob Dylan . . .

pack up your money and pick up your tent
cause Baylor ain't going nowhere . . .

or maybe Rhoads and Rhule are going somewhere . . . besides here.

I wouldn't Rhule that out. All Rhoades lead out of town.

Called and left message, going for 6.

I think his hours are M-F, 8-5:30. But if you left a message, he'll like call back when he can.

I found him very easy to work with.

How do you watch a game on Facebook anyway? I was snooping around on Facebook today looking for games this weekend but didn't see any. Will it be listed in the "watch" section? I assume Baylor or someone will send a link? Got my Chromecast ready to go, as long as I can find the game.

Good question. I have no idea but I rarely use FB for anything beyond professional uses.

I will be in San Antonio so I don't have to worry about those issues but I know some people who might want to watch the game on TV but cannot because they don't have it (and don't want it). The more I think about it, the more stupid it seems.

This particular one will be streamed on the CBS Sports facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/CBSSportsCFB/

Shouldn't be too hard to find on whatever streaming device or smart tv you use. And you don't have to actually have a facebook account to watch it fyi.

Not sure why the band cannot go. Based on tonight's game, we would only need a handful of sedans and an El Camino to transport the tubas.

We have more cheerleaders than band members this year.

Thanks for the info! The fees on TicketMaster are just silly. Going to call your guy tomorrow morning to get 3 tickets. Sic Em!

Got to him this morning and booked 5 tickets in row 12. Said six before assuming my son who just started grad school back at Baylor could attend....ummm no......

Called Ronnie and bought 2 seats in section 138 row 11 for the game. As promised, It was $30 per seats and NO FEES! Nice job @Historian.

Does anyone know what the parking situation at the Alamodome is like? Based on some googling, it sounds like we can grab a spot nearby-ish for $20 day of the game?

I'm surprised at how many people were disappointed the band wasn't going. I guess there are a lot more people over 60 on here than i thought, because everyone I know that is younger than 60 does not care about the band one bit. None. Zilch.

Where you at in 11, we are 3-7. We are staying at the Grand Hyatt and looks like a 10 minute walk over from there. If my wife complains then a quick Lyft.......

I just don't see that

I was planning to wait until Friday to check but it's a good idea to look early. So, here's what I found:

https://www.sahbgcc.com/Visit-Us/Location-Directions-Parking#17399908-2-convention-center-garage

I remember 20 years ago when I used to go to SA regularly, there was plenty of parking in the area: this garage at the convention center is closest but also two garages at the mall and all had decent prices (considering it is downtown in a major city). $11 event parking is not too bad and the Convention Center is just across the highway--short walk.

One more thing: I'm under 60 and I am going to miss the band. It's nice to have Baylor music played throughout the game--especially after every score (which I hope is often).

That's ashame. They work hard to put on a good show. Plus. I enjoy hearing that Good ole Baylor Line.

44. Before having a DJ and a roaming host, all we had was BUGWB. It was a simpler time. It helped keep Baylor moving forward, always forward - for a better Baylor, for an endless enduring dream and a thousand points of light.

Historian ...

Thanks for the ticket tip ... we purchased 6 tickets for the game. Section 138. We are coming in Friday evening from Frisco and have 2 rooms at the Hilton through Gary. Should be a great game ... thank you for getting the group pricing ... $30 was a great deal. Looking forward to joining the loud and proud Baylor supporters. Sic'em Bears!

UTSA determines the broadcast. They are not P5.
